ASX-112FR Autosampler Operator's Manual
Chapter 1: Introduction
The following components are located on the front of the autosampler and are
shipped with the autosampler. Each lettered item corresponds with a callout in
Figure 1-2.
Rotary Tray. The rotary tray has 14 standard positions and a rectangular
center cavity, which holds one sample rack in place.
A
Sample Rack Location. The ASX-112FR includes one sample rack. Rack
choices include short or tall rack configurations. A keyed interface plate is
B
required to use the short racks. The tall racks are placed directly in the rotary
tray with no interface plate required. The appropriate sample vials must be
used for each rack, and the host computer's software must be configured for
that particular rack layout and number of positions. The identification
designations are shown in the host computer's software – if the software does
not include a specific reference for the ASX-112FR, a reference for the older
model ASX-100 may be applicable with the ASX-112FR tray files.

maintain straightness. Available probe sizes include 0.010" (0.25 mm) ID,
0.010" (0.25 mm) ID, and 0.035" (0.89 mm) ID. If the ASX-112FR is used with
